In a corner of Hainan, there lies a hidden sanctuary untouched by the mundane world—Longmen Rapids🌊. This place is brimming with pristine natural scenery🌳, making one feel as though they have stepped into an isolated fairyland. Within this secret realm, there is a magical cave🪨, a masterpiece of nature, shaped into a unique form by the passage of time. Passing through this cave, you will see a vast expanse of reefs🪨, lying there quietly. Self-driving is recommended🚗, as the scenery along the way is equally enchanting. The walk from the parking lot to the cave takes less than ten minutes, which is very convenient. However, a word of caution is necessary, as there are many shards of glass in the area, so please be sure to stay safe⚠️. When taking photos, also make sure to stand in a safe place and avoid risking your safety by standing on unstable rocks.

Day nine of the Hainan Island self-driving tour, from Haidian Island - Longtengyunxia - Longmenjilang - Eman Volcanic Geological Park - Dongpo Academy - to Lingao. For the past two days, I've been talking about bay-view fatigue, but today at Longtengyunxia, I was suddenly impressed. I don't know if it's just today or if it has always been like this, but the huge waves were sky-high, crashing against the beach and rocks with a force that seemed to move mountains. What's particularly magical is that just a short distance from these terrifying waves, on the other side, lies a calm and peaceful harbor. Longmenjilang and the Volcanic Geological Park are actually in the same place, with the geological park being larger and Longmenjilang being a part of it. The volcanic relics are more distinct at Longmenjilang, with the porous volcanic rocks and layers of volcanic ash clearly visible to the naked eye, making it the first time I've seen such sights since the start of the island tour. Dongpo Academy was the main place of activity for Su Dongpo when he was exiled to Qiongzhou. In 1098, the locals built the Zaijiu Pavilion to commemorate Su Dongpo, and in 1549, during the Ming dynasty, it was rebuilt and renamed Dongpo Academy. Su Dongpo was exiled three times in his life, to Huangzhou, Huizhou, and Qiongzhou, but he never lost heart. In Qiongzhou, he changed the Li people's practice of trading agarwood for plow cattle for sacrifices, helping them to replace slash-and-burn agriculture with plow cattle, established schools, and nurtured Hainan's first successful imperial examination candidate, Jiang Tangzuo. In his later years, Mr. Dongpo remained optimistic until his death!

Long weekend is coming up! Popular places are crowded🙈 So, it's necessary to travel in the opposite direction! This time, let's talk about Danzhou Baimajing, where I spent four days and still couldn't get enough. It's off-the-beaten-path, and not crowded with tourists! Remember to bookmark this✌ ✌ ✅ Wuhai Sea + Longmen Rapids (Free) It's worth a visit! The sea with volcanic mineral terrain👀 Five colors, just like in Australia. And this time, you can climb the rocks for photos😌 Not many people, beautiful sunset, also suitable for emotional photography😁 ✅Sea Flower Island A large comprehensive island, water park + cinema + beach + hot spring♨️, No.1 Island is very commercial, No.2 Island has more options for homestays (detailed guide on the homepage), the sea here is also beautiful, good weather, will feel like jelly sea😬 ✅Dongpo Academy, the last stop of Su Dongpo's nine-segment journey, those who like cultural atmosphere can come and see. ✅ Thousand-year-old ancient salt field (Free) First time seeing so many salt drying places, close to Dongpo Academy, the salt-baked Wenchang chicken at the entrance is also delicious, the boss will enthusiastically show you their salt drying video. 🌟 Rice porridge, rice noodle rolls, pointed piles... The snacks here in Baimajing are very cheap, I bought a big bowl of Qingbuliang for just a few yuan😁 🌟 For seafood, there is Baimajing Seafood Processing Market, the price is okay, also can group purchase. Tips: ❤️ Fly to Haikou, take the high-speed train from Meilan Station directly to Baimajing. ❤️ Car rental here is cheap, but be sure to take a video in advance to avoid disputes. ❤️ In Danzhou, I walk an average of 20,000 steps a day, my legs are swollen every day, and also very sore. It is recommended to bring a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, which can quickly relieve muscle pain and swelling, and is also effective for unbroken bumps (God knows how many times I bumped when climbing the rocks). But use the red bottle first, wait for 3-4 minutes before using the white bottle, this way it works. If you have more questions, ask me in the comments section!
